Yehoshua sends spies to check how difficult it would be to conquer Ai. The spies report that Ai is small and easy to defeat. However, when Yehoshua attacks Ai with some soldiers, they are defeated and 36 men are killed. It is revealed that someone from Yericho, Achan, had stolen valuables that they were not supposed to take. Achan admits what he did and is executed for disobeying God's command. Yehoshua then leads another attack on Ai and they are successful in conquering the city with God's help.

anything wrong?
When Bnei Yisrael conquered Yericho, they were
told not to take anything from Yericho…

thinks!

5. Achan is

6. I wonder
when it
will be
time!
Yehoshua sends 30,000 men to wait behind Ai. He also
sends a small army with him to chase everyone out of Ai
so that there is no defence and someone could easily …
Time to do what…?
